Re: help with my latest lab results / iron

[Guest guest]

Hi Ariela: If these were my own iron labs, I would not be concerned. Yes, the

ferritin is over range; but since the other iron measures are within in range,

it looks to me like iron is OK and ferritin may be a little falsely elevated.

Regarding the IV's, if it was me I wouldn't get any more right now, I'd wait a

month and re-do iron labs. How well people " hold on " to iron varies a lot from

person to person.
